Società Dante Alighieri Comitato Di Torino CONCORSO LETTERARIO “SCRIVI PER NOI!” Quarta Edizione CONCORSO LETTERARIO “SCRIVI PER NOI!” quarta edizione La classe 1°G della Scuola Media Antonio Meucci di Via Revel 8 di Torino ha voluto interpretare il Patrimonio Culturale, in modo tangibile, immaginando un ragazzo cambogiano (un nostro compagno Andrea Ricci Sok Arunras) che decide di frequentare l’Università delle scienze gastronomiche di Pollenzo. In queste pagine di diario il ragazzo scoprirà la cultura italiana attraverso l’arte e la cucina. Marta Vallero Anna Giordano Il cibo italiano nel mondo Federico Actis Giorgetto, Giovanni Altafini, Tommaso Andolfi, Amelia Morgana Angelillo, Alex Bardeli, Meseret Bertolo, Pietro Casartelli, Ginevra Chiolero, Beatrice Cordoni, Viola Dolza Cogni, Viola Falchero, Anna Giordano, Carolina Giudici, Carlo Alberto Lucato, Gaia Marucco, Alice Mottino, Pietro Onorato, Arianna Peano, Gian Pietro Alessandro Petean, Gabriele Quadrumolo, Andrea Sok Arunras Ricci, Elena Roccavilla, Kaoutar Sad Eddine, Marta Vallero, Daria Zandano Società Dante Alighieri Comitato di Torino CONCORSO LETTERARIO “SCRIVI PER NOI!” quarta edizione Caro diario, Finalmente sono arrivato in Italia precisamente a Torino perché, come tu ben sai, mi sono iscritto all’Università degli studi di scienze gastronomiche di Pollenzo per diventare esperto di gastronomia mondiale: “Master of gastronomy: for the food in the world”. Torino all’inizio mi è sembrata un po’ caotica rispetto alla mia città, Angkor Wat in Cambogia! Però mi sono davvero meravigliato per tutti i monumenti, piazze, musei, palazzi che la caratterizzano tra cui il simbolo di Torino: la Mole Antonelliana. Che meraviglia! Tutti i turisti quando la vedono rimangono affascinati per la sua originalità! Anche il linguaggio dei giovani torinesi non passa inosservato; infatti ho incontrato un gruppo di adolescenti del posto che chiacchieravano e chattavano e chiesi loro di farmi una foto con la Mole, ma uno mi rispose: “Ehi frà, stai shallo, è solo un monumento …” Strani i ragazzini di oggi, no? Il panorama dall’alto è mozzafiato! Superga, circondata dalle montagne! La mia attenzione è stata catturata da due palazzi imponenti e maestosi: Palazzo Reale e Palazzo Madama. Palazzo Reale sono riuscito a visitarlo e direi che ogni stanza è perfetta e abbinata ai propri quadri, per non parlare dell’armeria, della biblioteca e delle luccicanti armature: devo proprio affermare che questi Savoia avevano davvero il lusso nel loro palazzo! La mia religione è rappresentata, a differenza di quella cristiana da templi e palazzi invece la chiesa di San Lorenzo è una vera “chicca”: alcuni mosaici curatissimi la rendono molto suggestiva. È in stile barocco eseguita dal Guarini. Sempre in piazza Castello, dal lato di via Po si affaccia il Teatro Regio: un teatro antico e maestoso che ha sempre rappresentato una parte della cultura musicale torinese. Lungo la strada verso il museo Egizio trovai una gelateria artigianale che a differenza dei nostri gelati confezionati offriva molti più gusti: gianduia, pistacchio, stracciatella, nocciola… Caro diario, ho fatto una scoperta fantastica! Però mi resi conto di averne mangiato troppo e così sono arrivato tardi alla visita al museo Egizio. Vedendomi preoccupato e un po’ sporco di gelato, mi fecero entrare lo stesso. Società Dante Alighieri Comitato di Torino CONCORSO LETTERARIO “SCRIVI PER NOI!” quarta edizione Rimasi sbalordito dalla quantità di reperti archeologici presenti, mi sembrava di essere nella loro epoca, un meraviglioso salto nel passato, anche se alcune mummie mi facevano impressione! Non ho potuto rinunciare però ad andare in piazza Vittorio, una delle piazze più grandi d’Europa, ben 18 km di portici con tutti i ristoranti e negozi e approfittando della vicinanza ho visitato il Santuario della Consolata, una delle chiese più antiche e preziose di Torino. Per concedermi un po’ di riposo, ho noleggiato una bicicletta e sono andato al Parco del Valentino. Mentre pedalavo, scorsi “tra […] la selva oscura”, una riproduzione di un borgo medievale sulle rive del fiume Po, questo grande fiume che attraversa Torino e ha visto passare tutta la storia di questa magnifica città! Caro diario, per adesso ho terminato il mio racconto, appena avrò nuove notizie ti farò sapere. Ciao! Sok Società Dante Alighieri Comitato di Torino CONCORSO LETTERARIO “SCRIVI PER NOI!” quarta edizione Caro diario, Eccomi tornato a scrivere dopo la fantastica visita per Torino. Ieri sera sono andato a casa di Giacomo, un mio compagno di università, che mi ha preparato una cena tipica piemontese. Abbiamo parlato di gastronomia come cultura. La tavola era imbandita con piatti e bicchieri con decorazioni floreali. Ho assaggiato i tipici grissini torinesi così croccanti che a masticarli era una strana sensazione. La salsina del vitello tonnato era fantastica! Come primo piatto Giacomo ha cucinato gli agnolotti del plin in brodo: buonissimi! Abbiamo iniziato a scambiarci delle ricette: riso, trote, carpe e spezie contro meringata, bicerin, bagna caoda e gianduiotti! Ho fotografato alcuni piatti, uno cambogiano e uno torinese per metterli a confronto. VS LOK LAK BAGNA CAODA Domani i miei nuovi amici mi porteranno ad assaggiare la tipica bevanda di Torino. In piemontese si chiama “bicerin” che indica un piccolo bicchiere. Si tratta di una ricetta inventata nell’Ottocento e mi hanno riferito che piaceva molto a Cavour. Il bicerin non si beve dappertutto e il posto più classico dove fanno la ricetta originaria è un piccolo baruccio davanti al Santuario della Consolata. La ricetta è apparentemente molto semplice: una parte di cioccolata calda, una parte un po’ più piccola di caffè e un grosso ciuffo di panna montata con una spolverata di cacao. Il risultato, mi dicono sia una vera esplosione di gusti che non vedo l’ora di conoscere. Caro diario a domani, così ti racconterò una nuova giornata torinese! Ciao! Sok Società Dante Alighieri Comitato di Torino.

    MUSEOLOGY AND EGYPTIAN MATERIAL CULTURE MUSEO EGIZIO, TURIN (ITALY) Course ID: ARCH 365AD June 23 ‒ July 29, 2018 FIELD SCHOOL DIRECTOR: Dr. Hans Barnard, MD PhD, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA ([email protected]) INTRODUCTION The collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts kept in the Museo Egizio in Turin (Piedmont, Italy) is among the most important in the world. In 1824, King Charles Felix (1765‒1831) of the House of Savoy—that was ruling Savoy, Piedmont, Aosta and Sardinia from Turin at the time—acquired the collection accumulated by Bernardino Drovetti (1776‒1852), the French consul to Egypt. Once in Turin it was housed in a large building in the center of town where it resides until today. The collection was expanded with the purchase of more than 1200 objects gathered by Giuseppe Sossio, in 1833, and the more than 35,000 objects excavated and purchased by Ernesto Schiaparelli (1856‒1928) between 1900 and 1920. In the 1960s, the Nubian Temple of Ellesiya was presented by the Egyptian to the Italian government—to recognize their assistance during the UNESCO campaign to save the Nubian monuments—and rebuilt in the Museo Egizio. Next to this temple, important constituents of the collection include the Old Kingdom Tomb of the Unknown, the New Kingdom Tomb of Kha and Merit, several complete copies of the Book of the Dead, the Turin List of Kings, and the Turin Papyrus Map. The Fondazione Museo delle Antichità Egizie was established in 2004 as the result of an innovative configuration blending private and public funding, which is an experiment in museum management in Italy.

  • Piedmont: the New Dolce Vita Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Piedmont: The New Dolce Vita Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Piedmont: The New Dolce Vita Benedetta Grasso (May 28, 2010) Discover Piedmont, a region filled with natural beauty, adventure, delicious food and wine and a thriving and exciting capital. When I try to describe Piedmont [2] to an American friend I always say, in very general terms, that Piedmont is to Italy what Northern California is to the United States. I find fascinating and funny that in Northern California there’s also a region called Piedmont. In both countries these areas are associated with elite tourists, usually foodies and wine-lovers, as well as more of a rough crowd that enjoys extreme sports and the beauty of nature – those who like to hike, explore, and are drawn to adventurous physical activities. Both regions have hills famous for their vineyards, and they both have big National Parks. There are mountains and ski-resorts but the sea is not too far away. Page 1 of 5 Piedmont: The New Dolce Vita Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The similarities between the two regions don’t end there: if Napa Valley [3]is synonymous with technology, innovation, and industry, Turin and Piedmont are associated with Italy's industrial revolution and modernity. Companies like FIAT [4]and Olivetti [5]are the giants among many other companies located in this progressive region which was pivotal in the computer revolution. The main cities, Turin and San Francisco, tend to live in the shadow of their more famous counterparts (Milan and Los Angeles) but they are the ones with the most potential and a higher quality of life.

  • Information Package
    Information Package More than 100 years have passed since the beginning of the bloody conflict known as World War One or Great War, which involved many Nations, engaged in a “Great War for Civilisation”, the “War to end all Wars”. All those who survived are no longer alive. Over time the scars have disappeared, emotions have calmed and memories have become clearer. The aim of this Historical Congress is to remind the new generations of Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians and Students of how their predecessors lived, worked and fought for their Countries, often sacrificing their lives. Participating in this Conference means to know something more about the different Military Veterinary Services of the fighting Nations involved in World War One, sparing a thought for the men who lay behind this Military façade. Men with different uniforms, from different Countries, who shared the same fears, anguish and doubts day in and day out. Regardless of their nationalities, faith or political beliefs, may this Congress pay a due and sincere homage to these men. EVENT LOCATION The Italian Army Veterinary Service, in cooperation with the Italian Society of the Veterinary Sciences, the Italian Association of the History of the Veterinary Medicine and Farriery, and the Veterinary Sciences Museum of the University in Turin has organized this Historical Congress. The Congress activities will be held at the University of Turin and at the local Military Hotel in order to highlight the interactions between the Academic World and the Italian Army. UNIFORM/ ATTIRE For Military Personnel: attire during the Congress will be Class B uniform (open collar) for participants, Class A uniform (military jacket and tie) for speakers, Dress Blue/Mess Dress uniform for the banquet and formal dresses and suits for the icebreaker.

Indeed Turin boasts an extensive network of sports associations, which involve hundreds of thousands of people in basic sports activities. It is for these two fundamental reasons that Turin’s candidature as European Capital of Sport in 2015 holds meaning and credibility. This is a candidature that highlights the multifaceted nature of a city that has been able to transform itself over the years, to turn from an industrial centre into a university city, and one which invests in research and innovation, tourism, culture and technology. In addition, Turin has always been recognised as a city attentive to welfare and particularly sensitive and committed to policies promoting social integration

  • From Lombardy to Lazio
    From Lombardy to Lazio Exploring the Hidden Treasures of Italy with Judy Pike & Friends October 6 - 19, 2011 eeping up our “Hidden Treasures” theme from last year, this K year’s annual adventure is going to explore some regions of Italy that are often overlooked by the mainstream tourist. We begin in the Piedmont, in the northwest corner of Italy, sur- rounded on three sides by mountains and leading out into the fertile Po valley to the east. This geographical location has been the crucial factor in determining the region’s history and devel- opment: although relatively isolated from its neighbors by the Alps, Piedmont controls the two major mountain passes between France and Italy, putting it directly in the path of both traders and invaders. We then head south, using the beautiful resort town of Forte dei Marmi as our base for exploring the Ligurian coast, and especial- ly the fabulous Cinque Terre. From here we’ll continue to Siena, the heart of Tuscany, where we’ll delve deep into the Tuscan countryside keeping well off the regular tourist paths. Our final stay is in Lazio, the region just north of Rome. We’ll stay on Lake Bracciano, an old volcanic crater and the cleanest lake in the country (or so they claim!). This will be our base for day trips to sample the delicious local food and wine and to inves- The Magnificent Tuscan Countryside tigate some of the hill towns of Umbria.

  • Timeline / Before 1800 to After 1930 / ITALY / CITIES and URBAN SPACES
    Timeline / Before 1800 to After 1930 / ITALY / CITIES AND URBAN SPACES Date Country Theme 1800 - 1814 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces In the Napoleonic age, monumental architecture is intended to celebrate the glory of the new regime. An example of that is the Foro Bonaparte, in the area around the Sforza’s Castle in Milan (a project by Giovanni Antonio Antolini). 1807 - 1837 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces In Milan, Luigi Cagnola completes the construction of the Arch of Peace, started during the Napoleonic age and inspired by the Arc du Carrousel in Paris. The stunning architectures of the Napoleonic age use arches, obelisks and allegorical groups of Roman and French classical inspiration. 1821 - 1822 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces Giuseppe Valadier’s neoclassical project for the area next to the Rome northern gate is completed: it encompasses Piazza del Popolo and a new scenographic access to the Pincio hill. 1860 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces The unification of Italy leads to urban expansion outside the old city walls, which have lost their defensive value. Medieval urban buildings are often demolished in order to build monumental architecture. 1861 - 1921 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces Urban growth in Italy: Naples is the biggest city (1861: 447,000; 1921: 772,000), but population growth is higher in Rome, the “political capital city” (1871: 244,000; 1921: 692,000) and in Milan, the “industrial capital city” (1861: 96,000; 1921: 719,000). (Rounded to nearest 1,000.) 1863 - 1889 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces Construction of the 167.5 m high Mole Antonelliana in Turin, initially conceived as a synagogue.
